"2007 cd"

David's mix of his key tracks from last year (which reminds me that I should put up the tracklist from my own, made a while back). It was the soundtrack to my very gauzey, distracted last Sunday, particularly "McFearless" (Kings of Leon) and "23" (Blonde Redhead); of the ones that were new to me, the other that I particularly like is the National's "Fake Empire". A lot of very 'David' stuff on here, natch, much of which falls in the overlap between his and my tastes (Radiohead, Spoon and the Arcade Fire all get multiple slots), and some which are definitely in his camp (QOTSA, White Stripes, Ian Ball, Pete Yorn) - lots of replay value for me and, in those first three I mentioned, a trio of genuine song 'discoveries'.
